A favourite Christmas tree

Admittedly, I'm not always a big fan of the traditional red and green Christmas palette, leaning more towards soft neutrals, metallics and whites to decorate for the holidays. This fresh, elegant look has remained a favourite of mine since I first saw this lovely tree decorated by Victoria Mifsud Teti who co-owns the West Toronto boutique Rizo Lola & Company. Full of nostalgic charm with a look that was described as 'Victorian parlour meets eco chic', I love the blend of soft gold and mercury glass ornaments. The gifts below all wrapped in soft blue and simple brown paper and tied up with soft ribbons.

I love this tree! I went all neutral with the house decorations but the tree always ends up being red because of my collection of ornaments. I may have to store them away next year to do something like this.

Its looks lovely. We have 2 trees. A small one for the kiddos that is completely covered in every kind and colour decoration you can imagine, and a big one for Huzz and I to enjoy in all its silver and glass glory. We are all very happy.
